May I just say that since joining this list seven (?) years ago, I have
never intentionally sought to 'snipe' or 'dig' at anyone. Hopefully, those
listers I have been fortunate to meet face to face this far will confirm
that I am not that way inclined? My offer was merely from one enthusiast to
others to make available a photograph or two (and only for those who were
interested) of a component that was nothing more than a variation on an
equipment theme. As a number of people *graciously* accepted the offer in
the spirit in which it was made, I can only conclude the offer was of some
passing value to them - if not to Mr. Smith.
I apologise unreservedly if my post was construed by others to be abrasive,
as it was by Mr. Smith - but yet again this is perhaps a case of global
enthusiasts united by an uncommon language?
